iNews NCS and iNews Command integration with CasparCG

I'm trying to integrate CasparCG with iNews in the same fashion as Deko does: the editor would fill the lower thirds info on iNews NCS and somehow iNews Command would send CG info to Caspar.

After some digging I found in iNews Command Instalation and Configuration Guide, section 4, that was possible to integrate Third party graphic devices via CII (chyron intelligent interface). So I figured I could write a small application that would translate CII commands to Caspar protocol. But sadly iNews command didn't let me create the CII device (it says we have 0 licenses left, altought we have 2 licenses available to Graphic devices)

Does anyone know a way to do this type of integration with caspar? Is it possible to write such CII translation application?

Re: iNews NCS and iNews Command integration with CasparCG

We have extensive experience in building custom solutions that link newsroom systems with automation systems and graphics/video play-out systems such as CasparCG. There are several ways of doing this, both via CII and iNEWS XML, depending on what your needs are.
